moving TFS project collection that wasn't detached

I'm attempting to attach a collection from one TFS server to another. This collection was not detached before restoring on to the new server. Both are TFS 2010.

The problem is that w开发者_如何转开发hen attempting to attach the collection, it return an error saying the collection was not detached properly. The old TFS server has been removed completely.

Is there a way to force attach such collections or any other solutions?

You can use the tfsconfig recover command to attempt to repair a collection that was not detached correctly.

The Recover command is not reversible and should not be used except after the standard attempts to restore the databases for a deployment have failed.

This command should be used only when a server failure or database synchronization failure resulted in a state where a collection or project could not be completely restored and reattached from backups.
